I strongly encourage all teens to get involved in any activity in which all parties benefit a great deal for life, and this AID Summer English teaching program in Taiwan is definitely one of the best ones around. Not only it benefited some less fortunate children in Taiwan, it also opened up a new door for my son to make friends with some highly inspirational teens from all over North America.

That final week tour of Taiwan after putting in three weeks of hardwork really paid off when my son came back to say, "I want to go back next year!" I was very worried about the long journey and the amount of time it was going to take away from my busy 17-year-old son during his senior summer when he was pressed in time to work on his SAT/ACT and college essays. However, my son came back aced on all those exams and started his marching season the day after his return to Houston. I am impressed with his maturity and time-management skill. I want to say a big "thank you" to all involved for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was a win-win-win for all.
